Wedding of the Century: Archie to Wed Veronica, Not Betty!

Archie is planning to propose to long-time girlfriend Veronica, but fans and all of Riverdale is asking: What about Betty?

The Betty-Archie-Veronica love triangle has gone on for more than 65 years and as these eternal high schoolers have moved through college and are now starting to act like adults.

"It's the milestone 600th issue and we're serving up the Archie story of the century as Archie marries Veronica!" Archie Comics publisher reports on its Web site .

Veronica, on her blog (yes, blog), writes : "I am so excited, I am getting Married to Archie. There is so much to do, so many plans to make. I wonder if Betty wants to be my Maid of Honor? I bet she is so happy for me! (((Hugs)))" On her blog Betty responses : "I am so sad, I don't even know what to say. Xoxoxoxo."

But blog Jezebel.com has seen the Veronica vs. Betty decision as a brunette vs blonde debate. The blog looks at other similar matchups including Jennifer Aniston vs. Angelina Jolie (brunette); Elisabeth Hasselbeck vs. Rosie O'Donnell (tie); Luke Skywalker vs. Han Solo (brunette) and sees a trend favoring brunettes.

I ALWAYS thought Mary-Ann was WAY more attractive than Ginger.

Is that an “alternate universe” issue?
Where can I buy it?

Follow the money.

What's more, she made it a tossup between Archie and Reggie.

Some guys have all the luck.

Betty will probably marry Reggie on the rebound. Speaking of which, I thought Veronica always hankered after Reggie. What gives?

[ArrogantBustard]

Does Archie have something that we don’t know about?

Stallions are jealous of him.

Will Elder lives!

PING!!

This is setting us up for the inevitable divorce after he catches Veronica with the pool boy.

After which he will find consolation with Betty and find she was his true love all along.

[wally_bert]

My sentiments exactly.

[wally_bert]

Ditto that.

Prenup?

Has to be!

Thanks for the ping.

[LucyJo]

LOL.

[dfwgator]

At least Archie didn’t marry Jughead.

Archie’s nickname is “tripod”

First, those who say that Archie really prefers Betty over Veronica just haven’t read the comics. Archie is attracted to Veronica’s glamour, and also to her sometimes “hard to get” attitude. That is NOT the same as being attracted to her wealth per se. In fact,Lodge and Smithers are (usually) his biggest headaches.

Those who read comics at all know that this proposal will not lead to a marriage any time soon. Heck, how many times was DC unable to even marry Jimmy Olsen to Lucy Lane? As long as the comic can avoid finishing the job, they will find a way, once the milk the plot line for all they can.

They could even make it a bad dream, or a trick to catch a stalker going after Betty or Veronica, or a ruse to get Archie an inheritance, or to keep the Lodge family from losing theirs.

The whore is probably knocked up.

You’re saying the cuffs didn’t match the collar?
